basically they do what ever they please to do ..... forget regulations ...
I had to throw away toothpaste ...shampoo, deo stick, lighter , yes even a matchbook from my CHECKED in luggage ..again CHECKED.... Carry on was even more stringent .in St louis 2 weeks ago( flight to Dallas) ... if that is not totally stupid i dont know what is..
But again I wouldnt worry about the bike, those morons have no idea about oil being in the forks anyhow
